Fielder’s Choice
By Barry Burleson

Snow travel

March snowfalls are becoming quite common.

The latest one struck Saturday afternoon, actually February 28, and then more arrived early Sunday morning, March 1.

I’d been watching the weather for a day or two – knowing I was heading to Jackson Saturday morning for the Mississippi High School Activities Association State Tournament. Our H.W. Byers girls were meeting Scott Central in the Class 2A semi-finals.

“Cats” & quilts

Memory
All alone in the moonlight

I drive a 1965 reddish-orange Mustang. People ask me when I got it restored and are surprised when I reply, “Never. I’ve owned it since I was 15. I’ve just always kept it up.”

New cars are all the same to me. They all drive like you’re sitting on a couch, then they fall apart. Way too many electronic gizmos to fail. The 1965 Mustang is built to last. Nothing on it that can’t be fixed with basic tools.

Letters to the Editor

Thanks Dr. Williams:
Dear Editor,

A couple of weeks ago husband Harvey suffered severe shortness of breath. Dr. Kenneth Williams, of Williams Medical Clinic here, diagnosed congestive heart failure, and called his Memphis cardiologist who said he should report to the Memphis hospital where he has been treated for years for various heart-related ailments.
